Des Moines, United States Talus Renewables Full time

About Talus


Talus’ mission is to realize humanity’s sustainable future by improving access to food and fuel for all. We do this by producing green ammonia -- the building block for all synthetic fertilizers -- from renewable electricity, water, and air.


Today, we’re building a distributed network of modular green ammonia systems across the world. We produce reliable, carbon-free ammonia for our partners at a fraction of the current market price. We offer fertilizer on tap, on farm, at half the price. Our first system is in Kenya.

In the future, our platform will improve access to locally produced renewable energy and alternative fuels in communities around the world.


Controls Commissioning Technician


We are hiring a Controls Commissioning Technician for a key position on our team. We’re looking for someone who has experience both in industrial automation and electrical installation and commissioning. You will be accountable to:


  • Successfully installation and commission the electrical system on our modular green ammonia systems


General responsibilities include:


  • Own instrument configuration: Proficient in configuring, troubleshooting, and integrating various instrumentation devices such as sensors, valves, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and thermocouples with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
  • Execute and improve IO checkout procedures: Improve the Talus IO checkout procedures and associated documentation to streamline processes and ensure reliability.
  • Execute and improve pre-commissioning procedures: Lead efforts to refine and improve Talus pre-commissioning procedures to enhance efficiency and reduce errors.
  • Read, update, improve electrical panel drawings: Take responsibility for maintaining and enhancing Talus electrical panel drawings to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
  • Support Factory Acceptance Testing: as needed as processes are improved.
  • As needed, help with maintenance: supported with others.
